Thirty-first chapter, where it is said how the Spaniards came with the brigantines, pursuing those who were in boats. When they were done contending with them, they drew close and reached all the houses.
And when they had finished adjusting [the guns], they shot at the wall. The wall then ripped and broke open. The second time it was hit, the wall went to the ground; it was knocked down in places, perforated, holes were blown in it. Then, like the other time, the road stood clear. And
[Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:]
Chapter Thirty-one, of how the brigantines, having scattered the canoes that went out against them on the lake, came to land next to the houses.
After the Spaniards had adjusted their cannon, they shot at the barrier with them. With the first volley they ruined it all, and with the second they knocked it to the ground. Then the Indian soldiers who were behind the barrier began to flee, and the friendly Indians filled in the canal with stones, adobe, earth, and timbers in order to be able to go forward.
When they had the canal filled up level, the horsemen came and entered the city, lancing the Indians that they could, then

the warriors who had been lying at the wall dispersed and came fleeing; everyone escaped in fear. And then all the different people [who were on the side of the Spaniards] quickly went filling in the canals and making them level with stones, adobes, and some logs, with which they closed off the water.
And when the canals were stopped up, some horse [men] came, perhaps ten of them; they came going in circles, spinning, turning, twisting. Another group of horse[men] came following behind them. And some Tlatelolca who had quickly entered the palace that had been Moteucçoma's residence came back out in alarm to contend with the horse [men]. They lanced one of the Tlatelolca, but when they had lanced him, he was able to take hold of [the Spaniard's] iron lance. Then his companions took it from [the Spaniard's] hands, throwing him on his back and unhorsing him. When he fell to the ground, they struck him repeatedly
[Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:]
they came back out, and other horsemen entered and did the same; the Indians took refuge in the royal palace. They also lanced a group of Indians, among whom was one from Tlatelolco who seized the lance with which he was pierced, and others among his companions also grabbed hold of it and took it from the horseman, and with it they killed him and unhorsed him.
Then the Spaniards assembled and entered a courtyard they called Quauhquiahuac; they took with them a heavy cannon and aimed it. [In] this place there was a large eagle of stone, as high as a man standing, and for that reason the courtyard was called Quauhquiahuac. On one side of the eagle was a tiger, also of stone, and on the other a bear [sic], also of stone. The captains of the Indians hid themselves behind eight stone columns that were there, and many other people were on top of the house that rose above the columns.
The Spaniards fired the heavy cannon that they had with them at that building that was there, and with the thunderous sound

Then the Spaniards sent everyone, they all moved together; they reached Quauhquiahuac [Eagle Gate]. As they went they took the cannon and its gear and set it down at Quauhquiahuac. (The reason it is so called is that an eagle stood there, carved of stone, some seven feet tall, and enclosing it were a jaguar standing on one side, and a wolf standing on the other, likewise carved in stone.) And when things were in this state the great warriors tried to take shelter behind the stone pillars; there were two rows of them, eight altogether. And the roof of the Coacalli was also full of warriors. None of them ventured to cross into the

and the smoke those who were below took fright and began to run away, and those above hurled themselves down, and they all fled. They took the cannon farther ahead in the direction of the square of Huitzilopochtli, where there was a large round stone like a millstone. Some satraps were seated on the cu of Huitzilopochtli, playing a teponaztli and singing, and though they saw what was happening, they did not stop playing and singing. Two Spaniards climbed up, killed them, and threw them down the steps of the cu.
As the Spaniards entered the city, the Indians skilled with canoes came and landed; they began to summon other people to prevent the Spaniards' entry.
When the Spaniards saw the Indians coming against them with great impetus and dispersing them, they regrouped and began to withdraw, and the Indians fought fiercely. The Spaniards retreated to their base, called Acachinanco, leaving the cannon in the courtyard of Huitzilopochtli. The Indians took it from there and threw it into deep water at the place they called Tetamaço!co, which is near

And the Spaniards did not move at all; when they fired the cannon, it grew very dark, and smoke spread. Those who had been taking shelter behind the stone pillars fled; all who had been lying on the roof jumped down and ran far away. Then they brought the cannon up and set it down at the round stone [of gladiatorial sacrifice]. On top of [the temple of] Huitzilopochtli they were still trying to keep watch, beating the log drums, as though the air were full of them. Then two Spaniards climbed up and struck [the drummers]; after they had struck them they cast them aside, threw them down.
And those with scraped heads, all the warriors who were fighting in boats, came onto dry land, and only the youths who poled the others conducted the

When things were in this condition, the Spaniards saw that they were upon them, pursuing them, and then they hunched down and retreated, running fast and fleeing. From both sides there was shooting [at the Spaniards] with barbed darts, and stones were thrown from both sides. Then they went to Xoloco to mend, catch their breath, and re-form, and then they came back. And then the Spaniards went back again and stayed in Acachinanco. In their haste they left behind the cannon on the round stone. Then the warriors took it; they quickly pushed it in the direction of Tetamacolco and threw it in the water.
